Floods happen when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water ; water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be carried in stream channels or kept in ...

Flood - Main causes: Encyclopedia - Arroyo creek

An arroyo is a dry creek bed or gulch that fills with water either seasonally, or after a heavy rain. As such, the term is similar to the word wadi. Arroyos can be natural or man-made. A good example of man-made arroyos can be found in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There are several miles of open-air concrete drainage channels that eventually drain into the main tributary along I-40 and into a cistern, where the runoff becomes part of the city's water supply. Because of the danger of flash flooding signs are posted, warning people t ...

Flood - Main causes: Encyclopedia - River

A river is a large natural waterway. The source of a river may be a lake, a spring, or a collection of small streams, known as headwaters. From their source, all rivers flow downhill, typically terminating in the ocean. The mouth, or lower end of a river is known as its base level. A river's water is normally confined to a channel, made up of a stream bed between banks. Most rainfall on land passes through a river on its way to the ocean. Smaller side streams that join a river are tributaries. The scientific term for any flowing natur ...

Flood - Main causes: Encyclopedia - 1989 Pacific typhoon season

The 1989 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1989, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1989 Pacif ...

Flood - Main causes: Encyclopedia - Arachnophobia

Arachnophobia is the fear (or phobia) of spiders. It is among the most common phobias, and possibly the most common animal phobia of all. The reactions of arachnophobics often seem irrational to others (and sometimes to sufferers themselves, as well). People with arachnophobia may stay away from any area they believe to be inhabited by numerous spiders or covered in spider webs. If they see a spider they may not enter the general vicinity until they overcome the panic attack that is often associated with it. Like most phobias the fear ...

Flood - Main causes: Encyclopedia - Uriel's machine

The theory of Uriel's Machine is postulated in a book of the same name by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas The book supposes that ancient (pre-historic) European (and by extension British) astronomers developed a stellar calendar. The author then suggests that the biblical Book of Enoch records that an archangel by the name of Uriel warned Enoch about the impending flood and gave him instructions for building a form of calendar so that crops could be re-planted. This is then compared with the early roots of religion and arch ...
